Fresh handmade sandwiches wrapped up ready for a grab n go, great selection. I ate in so they toasted my sandwich. They had a few selections including a tofu one, another with tuna and slaw, another with Czech-style one with a dill slaw. Very tasty, and the coffee was really well made I live 20mins away but I'd happily travel back for lunch again!

Cafe is lovely! Had a whipped avocado bagel and a caramel iced latte that were both delicious, and the lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. They had a lovely little garden in the back that was quiet and shaded so much cooler to sit at. Would definitely recommend!

Visited for the first time today and will definitely be back. The BEST peach danish I have ever had and the Avo bagel was really tasty, could really tell the ingredients were fresh and the sauce on it really elevated it. Great, polite service from the lady at the counter and lovely place. Thank you!
